ali-s Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I've had a very successful trip to the garden centre this afternoon (well 2 actually and B&Q and Homebase) looking for vegatable seeds. I am going to grow mini veg which is ideal in a very small plot or containers. The seeds are Mr Fothergills - Beetroot, Sweetcorn,Squash, Parsnip, Carrot, Cauliflower, Courgette and Peppers. Still need to find Turnip, Lettuce, cabbage and Aubergine - Dobies do these so I will order online. I couldn't find seed potatoes anywhere, am I a bit early for these?

You can grow carrots that are shaped like golf balls, I've got some seeds. You can grow about 20 at a time in a small container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Driving around this afternoon, I saw an ad outside a local garden centre for seed potatoes. Perhaps they're a bit later up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 You are probably right Clare I have been reading the thread on potato barrels started last year. My potatoes started chitting on 12th of February, so a few more weeks yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi Alison Try the organic gardening catalogue here I have used them for a while now and the service is really good. P & P is cheap too! edited to add - just been on and ordered some king edwards. A 3kg bag of seed potatoes (25-30) for £5.95 plus £1.20 P & P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
